The Weandle Walk

Why the Weandle Walk
Its that time of year again, when walking throught he town center you not only have to avoid the Chav's, Chavettes, and Chavkiddies but the compliation of internalional walkers and people from Gleneagles doing the weandle walk.

Whats it all about? Having a quick look at the Weandle site I found out not only is it named after the founder of Wellingborough, but it's also the only walking weekend in the uk recognised by international walking society or something like that. These guys must either like there walking walks on the wild side (i'm guessing that the other recognised walks are Beruit, Kabul, Tashkent and Bazra) or they have a serious fucking problem with the Uk and are trying to fuck us up! What could be better than a wander through the town center und up through park farm to Isham abd back again..?.
Ok so my main problem with this is why wellingborough? it's a shithole! go off to the dales, the cotswolds, the peaks, even snowdonia or the highlands not here!, or maybe it's the fact the disurb may weekend lay in, and walk soooo bloody slowly through town i'm surprised they manage the walk in less than 3 days.
Maybe, it's why they named it after the Anglo-saxon ruler of the area who would have kicked the shite out of any forigner who came into his town, let alone got between him and his next drink at HIS OWN local...

having said that there's a lot of amusement from seeing fat dutch guys drinking beer and smokeing 3 fags at once, or Japanese walking seeing only whats in the veiwfinder of there JVC camcorder, or bunches of scouts and army cadets getting pissed rather than walking.....
Now don't get me wrong, we need the annual walk, most of the local women could do with a bit of excercise (and a lot fewer take-aways) ...............

Having said all that, if you want to do the weandle walk next year, with good company and a few beers let us know..
